Insightfullness ahead.

So, I don't have time right now, but I am planning on writing a semi-insightful entry when I can. I cannot promise that it will be today, because I don't know if I will have access to a computer later on today. But if you want to know a little about what I plan on writing about, here are some links to some news stories. Take a look.

Anyway, I hope everyone's day is amazing.

Love love.

Rain, rain, go away, rain on my car another day.

So.

Story of my life is that my car has now been rained on [meaning the INSIDE] three times in the last week. Because, I, Sarah Countryman, cannot seem to close my windows. EVER. Of course there is that small problem with where I don't have AC, and if I close my windows my car becomes like a sauna. It's pretty terrible. But, anyway, because I never close my windows, my poor car has near flood damage, now. Well, I suppose it's not that bad, but still. I had to go and buy that resolve carpet cleaner stuff, so that I can clean my seats... that way they don't start growing mildew or anything gross like that.

Oh, that reminds me, I should clean my car out before Chels, Jordan, and I go to Chattanooga on the 9th. [I can see Chelsea reading this thinking, "Yeah, like that's ACTUALLY going to happen." Hey, you never know].

But, yesterday turned out to be a grand day. Really. I got a massage, that was AMAZING, and then Christy and I hung out yesterday afternoon, and had a really good time. We went to the antique mall, though, and I thought I was going to die of heat stroke. It was so hot in there. I don't know how she deals with the heat so well, because she was fine the whole time.

Is there like an intermission for blog posts where you change the subject completely?

My mom starts school tomorrow, and that makes me sick for her. God, I can't even remember what it was like to start that early, even though I know I did it for three years. I am so happy I'm not in high school anymore. As much as I say I don't want to be in college, it's completely better than high school.

So, I'm still reading Catcher in the Rye. I don't really know why it's taking me so long. I am nearly done though. Sometimes I think I read too much. Too many books at one time. But then I look at my father. Shoot, that man reads more than anyone. My mom has been packing the books for this move, and there are 43 boxes of just Irish books, plus I'm pretty sure that she's packed at least that many boxes, if not more of the rest of the books in the house. It's pretty insane. Oh, and I just love the part where I get stuck with it all when he leaves this world. Anyone know a good library that wants a bunch of Irish books?

I haven't started packing my room yet, but I think I'll get started tomorrow. I'm going to start with the books, and then move on to the winter clothes. Hopefully, I can get rid of a lot of stuff, you know, Goodwill and all that. Although, we are having a yardsale on the 16th, so maybe I can sell it and get some money, which is always nice. I really wish I knew if I was going to be on campus, because then I could pack accordingly.

I don't really have much else to say. I'm a boring person, really. I mean, maybe not, but I guess I don't have too much to say. Maybe someone could give me an idea about what to write about, you know? Anything, here people.

Anyway, out. Love love.

So, I'm pretty much on my last straw about this whole computer thing. I am in my father's office, which a nice working MAC computer. It's really a relief compared to that joke of a computer that I'm using at home right now. I could not even get WORD to work on it last night. I about threw it out the window. But, anyway, it's nice that I can come here while Rachel is in the office and use this computer.

But, anyway, yesterday was a pretty good day after all. I was pretty lazy most of the day, but when my mother got home we went out to eat at Harvest Moon and then went to B&N for a while. Barnes and Noble is nice, you know? I mean, I guess everyone knows that I basically live there, but it's sort of a safe haven for me. Coffee, books, people I know. What more could I ask for. I didn't actually buy any books yesterday... shocker, I know, but I did buy a nice planner and a new journal. I've decided that in order for me to survive this move, this semester, and other things to come, that I need to journal. I mean, this blog will help, but I can't really just post EVERYTHING I'm thinking.

I was supposed to go see Dr. Taylor yesterday, and I never did, so I HAVE to go today. I need him to sign an add/drop form for me. I also need to find the French teacher, so I get that lab waived.

So, I know that my posts have been less than insightful as of late, but sometimes I just like to write about what's going on. You know? Eventually, I'll write some grand work of insightfulness that will blow you all away, but I'm thinking that today just isn't that day.

Still reading Catcher in the Rye, and still loving it. Can't wait til Friday & Breaking Dawn.

For now, I'm out. Love to all.

Okay. So this is my first post ever. Exciting I know. Everyone cheer.

Anyway, it's taken me like two hours to get this set up because this computer I'm on here at work, hates me. It will probably take me like 10 minutes just to publish it when I get done. Annoying, I know. But, alas, that is a PC for you.

Speaking of computers, since I don't actually have a computer of my own right now, and there is this distinct possibility that I will be moving on to campus this year, I have to get a computer for myself. I have no money, so I'm trying to convince my parents, but you know how that goes. My mom wants me to get a Dell, since she can "afford" that, and of course, I'm like "Uhm, no. Do you know how crappy PCs of any kind are?!" So, I'm still pushing the MacBook. I've been searching used stuff online, but so far, there's nothing that's really struck my fancy. Hmm. Does anyone have an old Mac they'd be willing to sell to me? I'm serious. I need one. MAYBE, if I get this new student loan for my room and board, I'll have enough to pay for a Mac, too. That would be kind of super-duper. Yes, I did just type super-duper.

I really hope to find out about this campus thing soon. I just want to be able to tell my father, "OKAY! I'M GONE. You can enjoy your life now. Thanks."

The next two weeks are going to be fairly boring. Like, tomorrow for instance. I really have NOTHING to do. There is the possiblity that Christy can hang out in the afternoon, and that would be nice, but still. It kind of makes me anxious for school to start. I'm working, but like ONCE A WEEK, so I'm not making any money, which is unfortunate. I've applied for a job in the provosts office, which, hopefully will come through, and I get at least 15 hours a week, and build up some income. But, anyway, I don't really have anything fun to do until the 8th when Chelsea is here, and the 9th when she and Jordan and I go to Chattanooga, which I'm excited about. I'm excited about my birthday dinner, and all those folks coming over, too.

I actually am pretty excited about school starting this semster. I'm FINALLY in a major that I like, and I'm really excited about my classes. I still have a ton to do before hand though, like change a few classes, and drop my theatre minor. Yep, finally getting rid of anything acedemically theatre related. I'll likely still be pretty invloved in the theatre though. This semester my dad is directing a show called Eclipsed that I REALLY REALLY want to be in. I asked him if I auditioned if he would take me seriously, and he said yes, but we'll see. God only knows if that man will ever take me seriously.

I'm reading Catcher In The Rye, for the Blurbing Book Club. =]! I can't wait for John's "classes". It should be pretty amazing.

Well, I think I'm going to lock up and go home a few minutes early.

Peace&Love.
